Oliver Anthony And His Rise To Fame | Should We Give Him Time To Mature?

This week we talk about the new smash hit by Oliver Anthony called Rich Men North Of Richmond. While this song has risen to #1 on Billboard as of 8/22/2023, it has brought up a few questions for Paul. For example - should we as Christians give attention to this song and what should we do about the language present in the song? Also should we give him immediate fame or let him mature some first in the limelight. Also why are some people looking for controversy in this song? Join us this week as we discuss this song that has become the hit of the nation.

You said I had, I had an ad for dogs. No, you had an ad for Jamison and it did. Yeah. As well as the dog one. What? So I 
was like, I know I'm in Erin's house. Um, anyways what I was getting at to saying is and why I said I wouldn't give him a little more time before I go, like, hey, cool. Um, like, I know he has this upcoming week, an interview with, 
uh, like a Midwest Midwest Marxist group. When I say Marxist, I'm talking like, Marxist, like, politics, Marxist, not the, whatever that other Marxist is that you're like, 
oh, I'm a good marksman. Yeah. Um, because they, the Midwest Marxist group is already saying, well, this is already like, he's our guy now because he's for the working class. Hm. 
I know that's coming up this week. Did he accept it? Yeah. Oh, ok. So I'm like, all right, let's see what we got first before you go head over heels for, 
yeah, this guy because this is the Midwest, basically their communist party that's gonna be interviewing him and, hey, you know what? And, and I'm gonna give him better for the doubt until I 
see the interview. Maybe he doesn't know exactly what they are and then you just accept the new, new stuff and then all of a sudden it's like, oh, this is what it is. And then, dude, yeah, don't 
wanna be involved. Yeah. And then I'm just like, you know, as I said, let's give him time before we go. He's our new mid, uh, not Midwest right wing savior. Wait. 
No. Yeah, he's from the east side. Yeah. He's a east side boy. Oh, no. Uh, uh, no, no. But it just made me think of that. The East side boys, like rapper dudes, they're, they're, you 
know that 369 dang, you're fine. No. To the window to the wall song. No. What? Yes, you do actually. No, I don't play it for you. You'll recognize it. That song is horrible. But yeah, that 
it's, is it, there's a little John featuring the East side boys and I'm just like, yeah. OK. Anyhow, what? That was random. That is very random. And 
uh OK. Yeah. No, II I don't know. I'm gonna have to listen to more of this dude's stuff and I just see. Yeah, just see what he does as time 
goes on and learn about what this man's really like. So. Oh OK. I thought it was this week I was wrong. It's September 3rd, a couple weeks away. Yeah. Uh they, they put out we will be interviewing Oliver Anthony 
on September 3rd about the explosive popularity of his song Richmond, north of Richmond and how it's been connecting with the American working class because we don't get much money. It's all y'all. Uh So that's from their um 
I don't know. Do you call it their account, their Twitter account? What nowadays this the Twitter account uh Midwestern Marks at Mars Midwest, which honestly, I'm not gonna spend time giving them interaction because 
here's the thing if they're big enough place, guess what? They get a check mark. Oh no, you have to pay for a check mark. Um, you have, if you, if they get enough, uh, interaction they 
get money then from you, like, basically you viewing ads in their feet? Ok. So, in, so it's one of those things of like, no, I don't wanna give him feed. I wanna give him no money. Exactly. But the same time I don't think they're verified yet. Which, why they 
be verified on a capitalistic environment. I don't know. Don't, don't ask me, ma'am Aaron Philson on all the answers. I got nothing. Got 
nothing for you. Got nothing. Nothing. All right. Hm. So any other final comments about your new hero, Oliver Anthony, my new hero? Yeah. Well, I gotta figure out if he's actually my hero or not. He's not my hero. Why isn't he here? Here? He's just, dude, that's got a cool voice and plays guitar, 
guitar, guitar. All right. Now, we can listen to him on our way to get dinner. I knew that was coming. I knew 
that was coming. Yeah, it is. All right. I think we call it at this point then, sir.
